I was troubleshooting some issues today and reading the "HowTo" book. 
In one location it warned about editing the .conf file on a running 
system, since it DOES re-read it on each new connection or at approx 60 
second intervals.  Then in another chapter made an apparently 
conflicting statement about "remember to restart after the changes." 
 From what I saw today on 3.3.x it did reconfig itself on the fly.
